citroen ax take it must have been the gt? was coming out of town following some geezer in a 30, and an ax come up behind me, we came into the 40 and the car in front kept at 30 until the roundabout about 200yds in front. While in the 40 this car was flashing its lights and getting up me arse, which i really hate
Anyways pull on to the country road down it into second and overtake the ax follows. BTW the roads were racing down are country roads very windy. He keeps in the other lane thinkign he's going to overtake, but i was pulling away quite a lot before the first major turn, flick the lights to see if any cars are coming brake a little then rest on the throttle into the corner down it out of the corner, through a few chicanes( spelling? ) and by the end of a 1/4 mile straight i'm leaving whiles he entering it 
was impressed with the corsa's handling - owned it 8 months and never pushed it as hard as that since i hardly ever race  but TBH corsa's do handle better than i thought

What mods you done on your car cause AX GT's are very quick even in standard spec (0-60 in 8.9 secs).

I havnt done any, however the engines only been in the about a month cos me old one fecked up, and ever since the car does seem a lot faster espec. top end, i have taken the induction kit off and put the increase down to a poor flat spot generated by the pipercross induction filter.
